Summary: The first part of the film will be a Question-and-Answer section between Dan Zoto, local archaeologist, and Patty Donohoe of the Eastham Historical Society; it will set the stage and provide context for the arrival of the Second Seven. Questions will focus on the Nauset tribe and what the lower Cape was like when the English settlers came to live among them. The discussion will also include Native American land management practices and their influence on the choices of location for the earliest English settlements on Cape Cod, including Eastham.
Dan Zoto Bio: Dan is an archaeologist living on Cape Cod. He works as a Principal Investigator-Archaeology at Gray & Pape, Inc. in Providence and has done extensive public outreach work with the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History.
Patty Donohoe Bio: Patty is an officer of the Eastham Historical Society. She particularly enjoys helping patrons trace their Eastham ancestry. Growing up in Tennessee, she had no idea of her own connection to the Cape until moving here. “I’m a strong believer in ‘genealogical consciousness’; that is the act of being aware of one’s personal history and the stories of those who came before us.”She is the mother of three sons and the grandmother of seven budding genealogists.
